From previous sticky proposal

Links

Add more links to the front page. E.g. Really common things that people look to /g/ for advice for, like the headphones page.

For that to happen we need information on the specific topic (collect inforaphics to help). I will add some new pages. --Bisasam (talk) 17:18, 27 January 2014 (EST)

Can an Admin add the links to previous /g/ wikis here or on the main page so we can get moving articles across? - Oitap — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oitap (talk • contribs) 21:22, 29 January 2014‎ (UTC)

Clean up main page

Clean up the main page, and add some more links to it. Also, add some more IRC channels to it. Whether you like it or not, most of 4chan (and especially /g/) is on Rizon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chchjesus (talk • contribs) 09:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)‎

Logo

I volunteer myself to make a new logo if need be. I don't see much of a problem with the current logo. It could perhaps use a little bit of padding, but I think it looks decent overall. --Placebo (talk) 17:34, 29 January 2014 (EST)

Simply using Gentoo's logo isnt the greatest idea. maybe we could add /<logo>/ in the same style to it --Bisasam (talk) 05:33, 4 February 2014 (EST)

How does this look? I admit I could probably change the gradient styles and colors. IDK if it's still too much to be using derivatives of the Gentoo logo. Seems fitting tho.

Copyright law is always tricky. It would be in public domain because the wiki is, which means no copyright laws apply to it. However, since this wiki is hosted in USA, U.S. copyright laws also apply here. See wikipedia:Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Public_domain. I would assume that means the creator published it in public domain so you could do whatever you want, but it's a derivative work based on a work licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.5 (Gentoo logo) so you have to license your work under similar Creative Commons license as well. I will also assume you cannot take a CC-BY-SA work and turn it into PD legally. I'll notify User:Placebo about this so he can choose a CC license. WubTheCaptain (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2014 (EST)

I can upload the SVG if you want. --Placebo (talk) 05:37, 11 February 2014 (EST)

There's multiple issues: 1. You took the Tux.png name indescriptively that could have been needed by some other file 2. Your file doesn't have a license, so it's in public domain or risk of getting deleted. WubTheCaptain (talk) 18:37, 16 February 2014 (EST)

New Layout

the new layout makes it possible for non-admins to edit the Todo and Other topics pages. --Bisasam (talk) 09:47, 6 February 2014 (EST)

Different Favicon

Seriously, this is giving me some whiplash.

The favicon is currently the same as the default used for thread updates in 4chan X. If it could be set to anything but its current icon, that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Watashi (talk • contribs) 10:00, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I also took the decision to name the wikispace as /g/wiki:, if there's something else you'd like to use such as InstallGentoo: then go ahead. Further discussion may be appropriate. WubTheCaptain (talk) 22:50, 9 February 2014 (EST)

Spambots are always an issue with small wikis. We do currently have the CAPTCHA prompt for users adding new links. So it's likely that the spammers are human to some degree. I don't know if adding a DNSBL such as project honeypot or spamhaus would help. I found this mediawiki addon: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Check_Spambots --Placebo (talk) 22:18, 16 February 2014 (EST)

Ricing the Front Page

Why hasn't this been done yet? We need something to make this place look better.
--Gentooinstaller.exe (talk) 00:47, 16 February 2014 (EST)

Have you considered doing it yourself? WubTheCaptain (talk) 03:02, 16 February 2014 (EST)

"Done?" Excuse me, but do you even wiki? Now we don't have the edit history on those new pages because you didn't move the existing ones there. Solution: Delete the new ones, move the old ones (without redirect). No offense intended, but this is pretty incompetent from a wiki sysop. WubTheCaptain (talk) 11:24, 17 February 2014 (EST)
